This place really is what others have said: awesome! I visited it since I pass it everyday to go to Manhattan via the Kew Gardens stop and already it gets a star alone for being wicked close. When I went, they had only been open for a couple days, but it was beautiful! The space is small, but has an overall modern feel to it with an additional space for seating on the side. I was super impressed by not only the layout, but the friendliness of the staff was so nice. The woman who had curly hair was really funny and made sure I found everything I needed. She even let me know about some of their other drinks they offer. This is huge when you are a New Yorker so used to the typical "get moving" attitude most places have. I know the place is still new, but still feeling appreciated as a customer is key in my eyes. I then went back to get a variety of pasta, coffee, and italian sodas and it was great quality! They also utilize a Clover station for their checkout register which makes paying with cards a breeze! I highly recommend you stop by if you have the time to just browse because there is a lot of neat, authentic products you can't just pick up at the grocery store across the way. I will be returning to try out more! Great job Cipollina, stay this way and the buzz will never die.
I thought I knew my way around a Ciabatta until I sliced into this gorgeous new Italian gourmet shop in Queens and realized…. I barely scratched the crust.
Situated two blocks North of Union Tpke station, this store's awning has yet to surface, however the community (like me) has responded: Viva l'Italia! Shopping here has become a fun departure from the drudgery of Stopping….. to.. Shop. As the commercial landscape of NYC continues to "Crayola 8" itself into conglomerate big-box stores and chain super-humungo-markets, I am drawn in by the handsome, young entrepreneurial couple at Cipollina interested in preserving local businesses with international flavor. Oh, and the appeal of freshly baked spongy focaccia dipped in truffle oil, espresso drinks galore, and oregano still on its stalk!? invites as well!
Gourmet shops can sometimes be daunting for the casual shopper, but the prices are very reasonable for what you're getting. My suggestion is to come in for a cup of cappuccino, grab a bag of biscotti, sit and contemplate life in their cafe area until hunger strikes. At that point, you will just commision them to create a eclectic gift basket you will take home and turn your Ronzoni n' Ragu into a Bucatini alla arrabiata. Cin Cin!
Best new addition to the hood in some time!! Excellent cold cuts and wonderful treats for everyone. Make this a must visit!
